At this weeks Tokyo Game Show it was announced that Sony would be bringing an avatar-based social environment called PlayStation Room, to its PSP handheld games console.

Just like the PS3’s Home, PlayStation Room will let users build avatars, chat and network with other players in a virtual environment. 

PlayStation Room will be available to the PSP via a firmware update later on in the year, and users can access the service via the Xross Media Bar navigation tool. As with Home on the Playstation 3, users can also design their own Room spaces and visit those of other players.

Sony is said to be happy with the success of Home on PS3 and claims that up to 35 percentof PS3 console owners have visited home at least once. Sony has long term plans for the service and wants developers to use the platform to engage with users around their games.

Sony are currently in talks with publishers in an attempt to get access to their old games for use as downloadable content for the PsP.

John Koller had this to say: “In general there’s a lot of discussion about [publishers'] back catalogues that will finally find its way to PlayStation Network in the back half of this year. PSOne is included, but everything is on the table…We look for some of those big hits from all of the past games in their history and look for ways we can bring them over. It’s not always easy. There’s obviously technical areas that need to be bridged. But when those are solved, consumers will see a wide variety of retro games and brand new games coming to PSN.”

This should be a good idea to bump up Sony’s arsenal of games.

At the start of the year, rumors started to circulate regarding the possibility of the LittleBigPlanet game which is being released this month on the Sony PS3 will be released for the Sony PSP console. The game is allready very well known as one of the biggest releases for the PlayStation 3 this month or even this year, LBP is one of those games that will appeal to a very wide demographic, and due to Sony’s ambition to increase the level of connectivity between the PS3 and PSP, perhaps such an idea isn’t impossible and we could possibly see both platforms crossing over again for some super cool Little Big Planet adventures.

Just recently Playstation Games UK has found more evidence which can support the theory. As you can see by this job listing below, SCEE is currently on the prowl for a “PSP Game Engine Lead,” who will be responsible “for the design and implementation of key game components and the development of exciting new LittleBigPlanet projects.”

You would have thought this is where the ‘LittleBigPlanet release for Sony PSP‘ rumor ends, but Media Molecule boss Mark Healy spoke about the possibility of a portable version of LBP in a recent Eurogamer.TV interviewm in the interview, Mark said- “There’s definitely scope for a PSP version, we’ve had discussions and talks, [but] nothing concrete at the moment.” Putting such a huge game on both platforms would indeed be lucrative for Sony, but we have one question: if the game takes up over 40 gigs of space on a Blu-Ray disc, how exactly is it going to fit on PSP software? Will it be a toned-down version of the PS3 game? Or are we talking about an entirely new LBP project that is separate from the PS3 title that comes out on October 21st 2008? We admit to having plenty of questions, but such a job listing has got everyone talking. LittlebigPlanet is currently in beta right now.

We think that its possibly best to create a brand new LittlebigPlanet game for the Sony PSP console allthough this would take a lot of time possibly upto another year or so, we’ll keep you updated on the latest developments of the game for both Sony PSP and Sony PS3.

With the announcement of the new PSP-3000 model and more third-party developers starting to jump on board, Sony’s handheld continues to grow. To have a title like LittleBigPlanet as part of its library would be very very big indeed and would indeed boost sales.

Disaster report 3 is one of the 11 PS3 games that will be shown in October at TGS. One of these titles was to be developed by IREM, and rumors flew that it could be Disaster Report 3. Well, they were part right. IREM has just announced Disaster Report 3 – but for the PSP, not the PS3. Again, there are no other details at this time. Expect more from TGS.
